Translation of the song lyrics Nicht Wandle, Mein Licht (Liebeslieder Walzer Op. 52, No. 17) - Kurt Elling, Иоганнес Брамс

Nicht Wandle, Mein Licht (Liebeslieder Walzer Op. 52, No. 17) (original)

Nicht wandle / mein Licht,
dort außen / Im Flurbereich!
Die Füße würden dir / die zarten / zu naß / zu weich.
All überströmt sind dort die Wege / die Stege dir;
So überreichlich tränte dorten / das Auge mir.
Don’t Wander, My Light
Don’t wander, my light,
Don’t go walking in the fields!
Your lovely feet would get too wet;
too soft.
All the roads are flooded there,
And all the paths too.
..
So overwhelming have been the tears that flowed from my eyes.

Nicht Wandle, Mein Licht (Liebeslieder Walzer Op. 52, No. 17) (translation)

Do not wander / my light,
out there / in the hallway area!
Your feet would be / the delicate / too wet / too soft.
All overflowed are the ways / the footbridges for you;
So abundantly there / my eyes watered.
Don't Wander, My Light
Don't wander, my light,
Don't go walking in the fields!
Your lovely feet would get too wet;
too soft.
All the roads are flooded there,
And all the paths too.
..
So overwhelming have been the tears that flowed from my eyes.
